Jardin Sanctuario

This is a body
Of knowledge
He told us, and

The sun of far fields
Was in his eyes
As he spoke

When to plant
For each season
And how

What to give
In care,
In nourishment

How to harvest
How to store
In that season

That way
We eat
All year long…

And his voice was rich
In respect and love
Brought by long partnership

With
Mama
Earth

Public housing being insufficient to her medical and creative needs, in order to continue working she is presently living in her minivan, publishing all of her works using one thumb on the touch screen of her smartphone and surviving at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level.

If her work has touched you, she would treasure any contribution you might be good enough to offer ~ http://www.UgiftABLE.com ● #72D-31S.
